More Insights
Built in 1942 (83 years old).
Condition: Built in 1942, this historic adobe home features some recent functional updates like new mini-split cooling/heating systems (within 2 years) and recently installed Saltillo tile flooring in some areas. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with old-style cabinets, tile countertops, and an older range, requiring substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards. The single bathroom is not pictured but is likely similarly outdated, and the overall age of the structure suggests potential for aging infrastructure in other areas (plumbing, electrical) that would require significant investment.

Overall Age of Structure: While possessing historic charm, the 1942 construction year suggests potential for aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) that may require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned.
